Late Sequelae in Oncology
Increasing survival figures and the use of more intense combined treatment regimens in modern oncology have raised the problem of late therapeutic sequelae in long-term survivors after cancer. Recent scientific approaches to late sequelae concentrate on the evaluation of subclinical changes with sophisticated functional measurements and experimental investigation of the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms. The objective of the book is to bring together these recent clinical and experimental data from different medical disciplines to give an overview of the most relevant problems of late sequelae. In clinical practice the book may help regarding estimation of risks, selection of diagnostic methods, and estimation of the prognosis of late sequelae.
Toward Functional Nanomaterials
This book presents a detailed overview of recent research developments on functional nanomaterials, including synthesis, characterization, and applications. This state-of-the-art book is multidisciplinary in scope and international in authorship.
Normal Tissue Reactions in Radiotherapy and Oncology
This volume covers all aspects of side effects in radio-oncological treatment of tumors, and of combined, multi-modal therapies. Recent developments as well as future perspectives in radiation biology of acute and late responding normal tissues are included. Special focus is given to more general treatment effects, such as anaemia, fatigue and impairment of quality of life, and post-treatment rehabilitation requirements. The book illuminates forensic aspects of radiation therapy and related complications; it further exemplifies incidence, documentation, and clinical management approaches for side effects as well as novel cyto-/tissue-protective strategies. Particular features of side effects...
Concomitant Continuous Infusion Chemotherapy and Radiation
The administration of chemotherapeutic agents by continuous infusion with concomitant radiation therapy heralds a new approach in the treatment of cancer. This comprehensive book on the subject includes, besides a discussion of its scientific basis, the most promising clinical data on the use of continuous infusion chemotherapy and radiation. Thus, it is an important update for clinical investigators involved in frontline research as well as for practicing physicians participating in the direct care of cancer patients. The contributions include the latest results of this new approach in a number of tumor sites. There is a detailed description of the principles of radiosensitization for malig...
Recombinant Human Erythropoietin (rhEPO) in Clinical Oncology
Anemia is a frequent complication of cancer and its treatment. A number of clinical studies shows that the impact of anemia is much greater than previously thought. Beyond clinical symptoms, anemia significantly impairs physical and metabolic functions as well as patients' activity, well-being and quality of life. Life expectancy is also affected. In this book, written by a group of outstanding international experts, the current knowledge on anemia in cancer and its treatment with rhEPO is presented. Future developments are also discussed. Based on a broad spectrum of topics, the book describes the scientific and clinical aspects of anemia in various fields of oncology and gives diagnostic and therapeutic recommendations on when and how to use rhEPO.
Daniel, My Son
Daniel Thomas was 17 when he was diagnosed with rare bone cancer. His chances of survival were slim. But his father David refused to give up hope and did everything in his power to find his son a cure. Sadly, Daniel didn't survive but this account of the journey is testament to a parent's unconditional love and mankind's desperate need for hope.
Modification of Radiation Response
This book describes and summarizes the radiation responses of both normal and neoplastic tissues with a focus on rational strategies for the modification of these responses. Emerging data from molecular oncology and radiobiology are reviewed in depth. The book covers not only general principles of radiation-induced reactions but also a large number of preclinical and clinical data that will guide the reader through this complex and dynamic field and will provide valuable information for the development of further research projects.
